Mushrooms

A couple of month someone said to me "All mushrooms are edible. Some of them only once!"I would love to be a mushroom hunter but unfortunately I know nothing about them. I took this picture near Garlinge Green.

Do you know anything about mushroom? Do you know the name of this one? Let me know...

Hi again :). It's now a daily routine for me to check your blog :). Here in Romania I was a student for 2 years at Biology before i decided to come to Canterbury. So I think that that mushroom is Fomes fometarius, a small one, once they grow into maturity they become very hard, like the bark of a tree. Hope I'm not wrong regarding the species. It's not eatable by the way.Kisses from Romania,Nicole

Nice nature shot. This looks like a shelf fungus. I get my mushrooms prepackaged at the grocers and I'm very happy to leave it at that. Shelf fungus can stay on its shelf, and I will admire it from afar, thanks.
